Nyrob

Nyrob belongs to the northern Perm country, where forests and rivers connect scattered settlements near the western approaches to the Urals. Farming occupies suitable ground, while hunting, fishing, crafts, and woodland work supplement local livelihoods. Waterways and winter routes help move goods through country that can be difficult to traverse directly. Seasonal conditions shape work, transport, and the ability of households to obtain supplies from neighboring districts.

Nyrob was mentioned in writing in 1579. In 1601 Tsar Boris Godunov exiled Mikhail Nikitich Romanov here; he died in confinement the following year. After the Romanovs came to power, the village became associated with his memory. A 1710 census described Nyrob as a church settlement with both stone and wooden churches dedicated to Saint Nicholas.
